K VOICE CANADA THE EMPIRE = of the THE WORLD AT LARGE PRESS Thus, with cities and towns, here, there and everywhere, running on schedules adopted for a wide varlet)' of reasons, good or bad, the general .situation is confusini? in the extreftie. Surely it is time the Governnn-nt of Ontario took this question into serious consi(".eration, weighed the arguments and passed legislation de- signed to dispose, once and for all, of the existing inconvenient and in- efficient Alice in Wonderland mixup. â€" Brantford Expositor. CANADA Unconquered In olden times a rainy spell would hardly prevent a farmer from sow- ing his fields, flinging the seeds aljroad by hand. In this highly iTiL-chanized age, however, conditions have to be just so or the machines will not work. We haven't yet con- quered nature. â€" Edmonton Journal. What Conscience Does A pleasing bit of news from God- erich announces that a local nona- genarian in receipt of an old-age pension is t»-ying to make some re- turn for it by destroying weeds in vacant lots and fence corners. This pensioner may be old, but his con- science remains active. Further in- terest will be arousec' by his com- ment: "The weed inspoctors are sup- posed to look after this, but the trouble is they don't." â€" Toronto Globe. Food Chains in Canada There were 8G different food chain companies in Canada in 1935, oper- ating 2,309 stores with $105,024,100 sales. In 1934 the same number of chains operated 2,395 stores with $104,912,800 sales. Increases of al- most 10 per cent, were recorded in Saskatchewan, Albert, and British Colrmhia. â€" Bureau of Statistics Re- port.

British Columbia Apples British Columbia apples made the largest single contribution, $5,201,- 400 to the gross value of the Can- adian 1935 fruit crop. Nova Scotia, with a somewhat larger proiUiction b it a lower value per barrel, was a good second, $4,2GG,000, while Ont- ario's apple crop, $1,999,220, was the only other item that passed the mil- lion-dollar mark. However, Quebec apples yielded the highest returns to growers with an average of $4 per barrel. â€" Country Life in B.C. Plowing by Radio No longer need the plowman homeward plod his weary way. if a radio controlled tractor plow, which an American company has pro<luced proves commercially feasible. This ultra-modern plow is equip- ped with an ultra-short wave re- ceiver. Instead of riding a jolting tractor seat across his land, the farmer of tomorrow may sit quietly inside a watch tower and before him will be a simple switch-board. By merely turning the knobs . he can Kuidc the course of the machine so lonpT as it is .under his observation. If he find-i sitting in the watch tower somewhat tedious, he can dream of the day when each farm will have its television equipment and the plowman will be able to do his plowing while lying in bed. â€" Moncton Transcript.

What is a Drug Store? With the modern drug store handl- ing most every line of merchandise and in some cases catering to certain services this question has been up for argument from time to time. It is on the way to solution, how- ever. In Detroit Circu t Judge Theo- dore J. Ritchie has been asked to make a ruling in a suit brought by the Graham-Paige Co., owners of a builJing in Woodward avenue in that city, against Frank Uprighc, pro- prietor of a drug business in th« building, who recently installed a lunch counter in his store. The Graham-Paige Co.. acted after William Kai-topodes, owner of a restaurant in the same building, had sued for $25,000, charging, that the motor company had violated the pro- visions of his lease which gave him exclusive restaurant privilege. in the building. Kastopodes asserts that the druggist costs him $25 worth ot busincs;) daily by selling sandwiches and other food. -St. Thomas Times- Journal. Seasickness A Vancouver man on his way to Europe was experiencing seasickness for the first time. Calling his wife to his bedside, he said in a weak voice: "Jennie, my will is in the trust company's car. Everything is left to you, dear. My various stocks you will find in my safe deposit box." Thch he said fervently: "And Jen- nie, bury me on the other side. I can't stand this trip again, alive or dead." â€" Edn'onton Journal. THE EMPIRE Hay Fever The simple announcement that a now cure for hay fever has been dis- covered is not in itself likely to raise unduly the hopes of those who suffer from the disease. There have been too many cures. . . . Yet if the disillusioned can bring themselves to read further, there is something pro- mising in the latest discovery. . . . The treatment consist:; of a coat'.n? of ironized zinc to th. inside of the nostrils (where the irritation starts), and alter three or four applications the ma.iority of patients are render- ed free from attack for .t year. If the treatment is repeated Ihreo years running "there is usuali' no recur- rence of the trouble." â€" Manchester Guardian. Stability in Freedom Probably there is no nation in the world where greater diversity of opionion is expressed than in the Bri- tish Empire, and certainly there is no part of the world in which there is greater stability of government. This seeming paradox is no paradox at all when it is understood that the British people long ago learnt the value of freedom as an element in, and indeed as the very essen. e of, stability in government. A recogni- tion of thes- facts is important in a world where the disregard of them has caused so much unrest, uncer- tainty, and bloodshed. The world during the last few days has had its ears assailed with proud boasts of conquest and with arrogant claims of power which have had no counter- part in the history of the British people. Government is so much a matter of course that there is a danger of those who have enjoyed it in its highest fr.rm failii g to safe- guard it or, at any rate, treating it lightly. â€" Melbourne Argus. More Jewelry Bein? Worn Lapel Watches Are Smart; Many Colors in New - Bracelets Police Awards It is an unfortunate fact that no form of decoration for acta of brav- ery on the part of peace officers apjcars to be in existence in Can- ada While the average policeman will look on deeds of courage per- formed in the face of extreme danger as being in tho customary routine of duty, it would, nevertheless, be a sojice of gratification to his relatives â€" and incidentally, to the organiz- ( tion of which he is a member â€" it some signal token of appreciation such as a medal wer' to b& granted for acta of individual bravery. This especially arplies in cases where a policeman lays down his life in the execution of liis duty as hapi cned in the ree.n-t case of Constable John Lewis of the Sarnia police force, when engaged in the apprehension of a notorious criminal during a liquor store hold-up. Many deed? of supieme courage are performed by peace officers throi.j'hout the Icngtt and breadth of the Dominion, and the bestowal of. a token of appreciation of this nature for galli nt service performed W)uld appropriately signify the ap- preciation of the sta e and of the public whose interests they serve. â€" R.C.M. Quarterly. New Minister to Japan Daylight Saving Already, this year, several places which had decided to go on "fast" time have reversed their intentions, whi! J olher.s which had "sworn off" have changed their minds and de- cided to go on, after all. A bit of glitter with one's daytime clothes is important, or at least de- sirable. More jewelry is being worn as well as more flower^. Lapel watches are one of the most important of the jewelry fashions of the moment. The materials of these watches are crystal, shell and leather. The lapel watch is especially nice for warm weather, and is ex- pected to supplant the wrist watch during the summer. Fobs and fob watches are popular for the suits, and the monogram type fobs are used for gifts. Color and natural gold is the rule in these fobs. Bracelets are of many styles and colors. Color with metal touches is smart and often a matchin ; clip ring or pin is worn, making the jewelry ensemble. Favorite colors in bracelets right now are strawberry, aqua, purple tones, blues in a wide range, includ- ing navy, and a large number of greens. White is not so often chosen at the moment, but is expected to register importantly later In the summer, especially with touches of bright color. The well-dressed woman is buying metal belts, they say about town, and leather belts studded with metal. Ornamental clips are also liked, especially the novelties representing fruit, vegetables and flowers, beetles or monograms. Color is combined with metal in these whimsies. Jewel- ed and l)rilliant studded effects are worn for evening. The moving picture, "Follow the Fleet," started a vogue for nautical jewelry which promises to continue during the si nimer, especially on the beaches. One leather goods, specialist is (howinf, leather "je>velry" articles in the nautical theme. ROi^atta flags in color and monogram ornamental pins are shown as possibilities for sports wear. Necklaces that stress delicate, rather than heavy, designs in colors, combined with gold metal, also are shown in his collection. The pearl necklace still is worn by chic women, even with clothes worn for sports, as at a steeplechase. Often they are complemented by a lapel flower matched by floral hat trimmming. Nothing is more attrac five than pearls, too, worn with a dark print summer dress. Hon. li. Randolph Bruce, former Lieutenant-Governor of British Columbia and newly designated Minister to Japan, is shown above aboard the C.P. liner Empress of Britain with Mrs. Bruce as he arrived in Canada to spend a few weeks before taking up his new appointment.

I 43 Life Coiplex These Days The ordinary man has small chance; the fellow who shed.s a little dandruff on the shoulder of his blue suit miglit as well quit, and the man who does not keep his socks well hitched up â€" well, he's out. These things we learn- ed from a July magazine, observes tlie Teterborough Examiner. There was one picture ot a sweet youny lady nestling' up fairly close to a young man who had a remark- ably well-groomed head of hair. Every hair the young man owned seemed to be in its right place. He looked as well groomed as a seal, and the word- jug along with the picture was 'Only a well-groomed head can inspire ad- oration such as this." Whether a lit- tle soft butter would produce the same effect we do not know, but there it is. The young man has to have that well-groomed effect or he will not be adored. The man whoso hair has .started to leave the thatch is out right at the start. He'll Just have to get aloug as best he can .viiluuit any adoration. Then in another place we found whore a ;oung man went out to spend the evening. It was admitted he was a nice young man and the young lady thought quite a lot of him. But uiicn he jacked one leg up over ttie other in sitting down it was seen lliat his socks were wrinkled. He was not wearing garters and his socks sagged badly. That started the youug Uidy to thinking and she figured out lull it he was careless In his habits ot dress he'd probably be careless about other things. No doubt he would dunk his toast in the coffee and like as not he would drmk soup or convey it to his mouth with a swooping motion. So she became ra- llior cofl; there wag no ardor in her; not a bit. The youug man with the a:Mi<;ling socks wont home wondering what he had said or done and he felt as though life were blasted. If he'd only stopped to hitch up his socks a couple of times all might have been well. Life seems to be getting rather complex. A man can't get any ad- oration spilled on him unless he has hair well groomed, and another young fellow sees his best girl drifting away from his wharf because hla socks sagged when he crossed his legs. The only way out we can see Is for a young man to keep his hat on so his hair won't sliow ond stand up when he goes to spend the evening so the .sag in his socks will not be apparent. Unless of course he goes in tor a spell ot grooming or decides to wear garters. Made in Canada Ten Is Defined Goods Must Satisfy Ten Per Cent of Market to Qualify Carrying out a policy announced at the last session of Parliament and arising partly out of the trade settlement with Japan an Order-in- Council has been passed defining goods "made or produced in Canada" for customs purposes. The order declares that no goods may be classed as made or produced in Canada unless total Canadian pro- duction is suflicient to satisfy at least lO per cent, of the normal Canadian demand. In many items ot the customs tariff a rate of duty is provided for particular goods of a kind made or produced i.i Canada >vhich does not apply if the ^oods are of a kind not made or produced here. The National Re\enue Department has to decide whether goodh are made or nol, for the purpose of applying the duties and the Order in-Council is a direction to the department. By an amendment to the "ustoms tariff passed at the .ecent session the Government was authorized to llx the percentage of production in Canada required to make the produc- ed ;ii-Canada tariff rates operative. Relief in Toronto Lower for Period Bad News for Canada Writes the St. Louis Globe Des- patch â€" As it is widely known, the spruce forests of Canada are the major source of newsprint supply for American newspapers. The pow- der princes have decided to end that situation. Just when that resolve was taken is not revealed, nor how long they have prosecuted their search. But the trail of the lonesome pine, it seems, led them to the happy coign where they were able to shout "Eur- eka!" The development of this new American industry may be bad new.= for Canada, but one cannot be sen timental about such matters. Are we our brother's keeper? Not when the brothers live on the alien side of a national boundary. Theorize as we may about the finlernalism of man, economics everywhere prattles its fir.st word in the native tongue, and its last word. Security, like charity, begins at home. TORONTOâ€" Toronto's f-ross ex- penditure on relief for the first six months of this year totalled $5,002,- 945 as compared with $5,612,973 and $4,589,269 for the same period in 1935 and 1934 respectively.

Film Is Aid In Retaining Beauty 'Do's and Dont's" Portray- ed in British Movies LON'DON. â€" Any woman wha fees pangs about the passing nature of beauty is just the sort of persoa a group of middle-aged suburban women are out to help. These wo- men gathered recently in a LondoB film studio. They were filmed at their usual everyday occupations â€" sewinjf, making beds, washing, cooking cleaning and gardening. "We shall show as one film, a day in the life of a young married couple to prove that what the most people consider a natural and nor- mal is often anything but natural and normal," Bruce Wolfe, general manager of the film company said. Then the same couple will carry out their same tasks without stress. The secret is a return to the bal- ance and rhythm of natural maai which has been lost in most modem occupations. A city typist will demonstrate th* wrong and the right way to go about her work to show other typ- ists how to keep their shoulders and necks straight and their faces free from the ugly aging lines of tire. A bank clerk will show how tho man who pores for eight hours over a ledger every day may be as fresh at the end of it as he was at tho beginning. The films are being made in as- sociation with Major Gem, organi- zer of physical education for tho London County Council, and Miss Colson, secretary of the Central Council of Recreational Training, By KEN EDWARDS It looks like young "Chuck" Campbell is over in Germany now marking time until he can skim his shell over Hitler's course for Canada in the 1936 Olympiad, which was first held near Athens, Greece, 776 years B.C. Max Baer, champion playboy of fistiana is making a serious at- tempt at a comeback. Since Louis is out of the way his coveted crown looks closer. And with Der Maxie Schmeling in line for a crack at the title and lion-hearted James J., things don't look so gloomy from the ringside. Turning to field and track gos- sip for a few moments, we want you who are not familiar with this line of sport to know that Glenn Cunningham is one of the most versatile milers in the world. Cunningham broke 4 world re- cords in 1934. Jesse Owens of Ohio State shattered 3 world re- cords and tied for a fourth at one track meet. This was in Michigan, May 25, 1935. At Los Angeles, where the 1932 Olympic games were held the track and field events attracted the largest crowd of any of the events â€" • 427,171 persons at- tended. Years ago the greatest honor in all Greece was to win at the ancient Olympiads, and they say that when a winner returned to his home town or city a breach was made in the city wall for his chariot to enter, considering the city gate not too good enough for the victor to enter. Interesting too about the track and field slants is the fact that the foot race was the only contest during the first 13 Olympiads. So much for the Olympics this week â€" we'll be back soon â€" so long.
